Re: [suse-autoinstall] Including NVIDIA Driver into autoinstall

31 Jul 2006

      Good day

Thanks for your answer. I'm almost done with what I wanted, still put in
my autoinst.xml

      <script>
        <filename>nvidia.sh</filename>
        <interpreter>shell</interpreter>
        <source><![CDATA[
mkdir /mnt/install
mount bali:/files/install/devel_ws /mnt/install
sh /mnt/install/extras/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8762-pkg2.run -s
sleep 10
/usr/sbin/SaX2 -a
/sbin/init 5
]]>
        </source>
      </script>

The sleep cmd there is just a try to solve my last problem. The driver
now installs flawless, but SaX doesn't seem to care. Although if I run
SaX manually again after the system is fully up it sees the installed
driver and uses it. So I thought I might give the system a break before
starting SaX. It's currently running so I'll see if it works in a couple
minutes.

Regards
André

Good evening
I'm still on my way to a fully automated SuSE 10.1 Installation. I'm
currently stuck with the NVIDIA Driver. Has anybody managed to do that?
I tried to do it with several ways, like including a small script into
my autoinst.xml, but everything fails. The last thing I tried was going
with "init-scripts", but that gave me the error:
I'm working on this for a SLED, but still ironing out a couple of bugs with 
trying to do it all by the book (using zmd/rug) and not just grabbing a known 
good set of RPMs and pulling them of a local server.
So far, (in *very* ugly perl) I have the following bit of post install.
#list of machines that use the fglrx driver
@fglrx_machines=(
  "0C4708", "2669VLM", "0FH884", 
  "Latitude D610"
);
#lets see if we do some xgl magic.
@a = `hwinfo --bios |grep Product:`;
$doXGL=0;
machine: foreach $line (@a) {
  $line =~ s/^\s*Product: "(.*)"$/$1/;
  chomp $line;
  foreach (@fglrx_machines) {
  if ($line eq $_) {
    #found a matching line
    $doXGL=1;
    last machine;
  }
  }
}
#figure out what RPMs we need. 
#
$kversion = `uname -r | cut -d "-" -f 3`;
chomp $kversion;
if ( `hwinfo --gfx | grep -c nVidia` != 0 ) {
  #we have an nVidia card
  $rpms = "nvidia-gfx-kmp-$kversion x11-video-nvidia";
}
elsif ( `hwinfo --gfx | grep -c ATI` != 0 ) {
  #we have an ATI card
  $rpms = "ati-fglrx-kmp-$kversion x11-video-fglrx";
}
#wait for 5 mins for rug to settle down.
sleep 300;
if ($doXGL) {
  #magic Xgl install here
  print "Installing Xgl drivres\n";
#  print `rug in x11-video-fglrx ati-fglrx-kmp-default`;
  print `expect - << EOF 
set timeout 120
spawn rug in $rpms
expect " Software End User License Agreement"
send "q"
expect "Do you accept the license?"
send "y\r"
expect " Software End User License Agreement"
send "q"
expect "Do you accept the license?"
send "y\r"
expect "Transaction Finished"
EOF
`;
print `/opt/gnome/bin/gnome-xgl-switch --enable-xgl`;
}
As you can see, still some issues around rug trying to do it's install before 
ZMD has finished downloading the repo-data. (I think)
